i have a theory: ron artest was meant to replace odom, and the fo meant to keep trevor. but ariza let his azzklown of an agent talk him into making the biggest mistake of his career, and now we are where we are. oh well.

I wasn’t getting on you for your opinions. If you think sasha sucks, that’s fine. That’s what I listen for. your opinions on the laker players, and nba orginization as a whole. everyone has debatable opinions, that’s what makes sites like this so great. Now I may have over reacted a bit, and for that I apologize. but there is a big difference between calling out ariza for the way his trade went down, and saying that just because the chinese government is chillin with kobe, it’s all good. they are one of the largest limitors and violators of human rights since ww2, and so when you said that it, just stuck me the wrong way. but it’s all good. we’re here for lakers, not politics. I just needed to say that one peice.

Thanks for listening and giving the encouraging words!

We express our OPINIONS each and every Podcast. I don’t ever profess that it’s “gospel” as much as it is just my opinion…..

When I state my OPINION about Kobe > Lebron then no problem, right?

Kwame helped the Lakers, Sasha is the “MISSchine”, all of these have been my OPINIONS I’ve spreaded since day one.

I simply gave you my opinion on the Michael Jackson situation, which you disagreed with.

I’m sure it won’t be the last time….

P.S. And I know what you mean when you say I sound “ignorant” ;o)

Dog, it’s a business. If you work for Ford and are getting 70k/year a plant supervisor, and then Ford brings in someone that does your exact job, tells you are going to get decreased hours and you have an offer to make $100k at Toyota would your loyalty stop you from switching?

g…c’mon man, you’re killin me sometimes. stop bringing up things as straight facts if you don’t know what you are talking about. First off, that comment about kobe’s charity is backed by the chinese government, so it is somehow more legit than other charities? though I see is charitable work as great, you need to know that china is one of the greatest violators of human rights in the modern era. that they are doing charitable social work at all is a miracle, but it is certainly not a seal of approval.

second, just because magic and kobe were at MJ’s service, it isn’t a testament to the greatness of the lakers. as you said in the begining of that segment, it was because the two of them had a relationship with michael, but then you turned it into this whole, “kobe and magic are the recognized kings of the basketball world.” they were his friends, and they are famous. that is that. and they were not the only people that spoke at the service that we non singers. brooke sheilds, rev. al sharpton, the children of the late DR. King all spoke, just to name a few. again, kobe and magic talking had nothing to do with showing the greatness of the lakers. they both knew him, they are both famous, and they both played for the lakers, so they went up together.

as for the ariza thing, we are all entitled to be as convicted to our feelings as we want. apparently you are mad.

I love your show. I listen every podcast. I value your opinion on the lakers, and basketball. but if you start bringing it into stuff that you don’t know fully what you are talking about, and spread it as gospel just because the lakers are somehow tied to it, then you just sound ignorant.

Don’t mind me, this is what I do.

Can we just agree that you can’t credit 1 person completely for doing anything for Black people.

It’s like wanting to give Dr. King credit for all of the civil rights accomplishments, when there many people at different times you could point to.

The point is Magic was criticized for giving Jackson credit, when it is completely true that Michael opened up doors for EVERYBODY.

I mean, there would be no freaking JUSTIN TIMEBERLAKE without Michael Jackson! But there would be no Michael Jackson with any James Brown, no James Brown if there was no Jackie Wilson, etc etc.

But just because predecessors exist doesn’t mean we can’t give credit to our modern icons, which Michael Jackson is.

Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Bill Russell, <—they are not the ONLY contributors….
